If you're in California: Please tell your legislator to support the DISCLOSE Act, which would force political campaigns to reveal their donors in ads. The bill needs just one more vote to pass, and several legislators are on the fence. Here's a petition too. I sign a lot of petitions, but don't tend to post about them. However, I believe the fight to restore our democracy is THE most important issue of our time. Thank you.﻿

I've been saying this from the beginning, based on my own direct experience-- the IRS "targeted" groups from the left as well as the right, including those with the terms ''Progressive", "Occupy", or "Israel" in their name. This whole "scandal" has been largely an invention of Darrell Issa and co., who have been proven to be cherry-picking their transcripts and making false insinuations.

Just a reminder-- don't put anything in email that you wouldn't want splashed across a newpaper headline. All they need is a subpoena to get it, not even a warrant, meaning that any prosecutor can read your email. This is true even of email under "anonymous" or pseudonymous accounts. Yes, the law should be changed.﻿

Here's one I strongly support-- transparency in campaign contributions-- especially in the wake of Citizens United. A House subcommittee just voted to strip FCC of its power to demand such transparency. Please tell Congress how you feel about this, via this petition or another way.﻿
